Notes About The Poem

'ana 'Uhibbouk

Smile your love across my life
Hold my face inside your thoughts
Talk with fingers on my spine
Whisper your lips over my longing

Fold your warmth around my ice
And speak with words so soundless

          "'ana 'uhibbouk
          Je t'aime
          Ich liebe dich
          I love you"

I spell your sibilants breathlessly
Until you arch me to a crescent
Screaming your name in silence
Under your fingers I come alive

Your name, love, your passion
Imploding explosively

I love how your words come alive <3 Even though had to look up a few, sibilants and 'ana 'uhibbouk, it is fun to learn new words! :) Darren White March 2, 2017 at 11:44 PM Sibilants is a great word, isn't it? 'ana 'uhibbouk meand I Love You. It's arabic, my native language.

Chris Green March 2, 2017 at 9:49 AM Such a beautiful love poem my friend. but I have to ask, no matter how dumb it makes me look, the first "italicized line", what language is that? Darren White March 2, 2017 at 9:55 AM That is not dumb at all, there are no dumb questions :) It is Arabic, my native language, and it simply means I Love You.

Lisa Ricci March 2, 2017 at 4:31 AM Well now. And yes, wow. Explosive, passionate, alive and so much more come to mind. The emotive factor is ever present. Oh the red of it all. Well done on all counts. Darren White March 2, 2017 at 4:53 AM Thank you, Lisa :) Sometimes I love to write something sensual, I believe I've succeeded.
